The ROTB mainline has been pretty good so far, and most of the gimmick toys are fairly good. But if you just wanted a good old fashioned transformer without any gimmicks the "core" line up is here for you. Which just doesn't really fit in, because if you just wanted good toys of these characters you'd just get studio series which are not only higher quality, but the same price as these.
Nonetheless mainline Voyager Optimus Prime is a fantastic figure.
This figure was actually based off of a earlier design of the ROTB Prime, but I can't really tell the difference between that and the final one anyway.
The detailing on this guy is amazing, especially in that lower body area, just some great techno stuff
The paint is a bit sparse on him but it still looks great, just wish most of it wasn't this model kit gray
His head sculpt is certainly Optimus Prime
Which is to say it looks fantastic.
His head actually has some light piping, but for some Primus forsaken reason they painted over it, some light can still get through but it's not the same.
Prime's posability is insane, it has everything you'd want, and more. It has all the stuff you'd expect from a really good figure, like waist swivel, ankle pivot, but also has stuff that's usually only on things like masterpiece like an upper torso swivel and a goddamn ab crunch, all of this combines to make a figure that is an absolute dream to pose, I only have one real issue with its articulation, his head is only on a swivel, so he can't look up and down, not that big of a deal but still annoying.
Transformation is pretty standard Optimus Prime stuff, no real surprises here.
The truck mode looks fantastic. Most Optimus toy's truck modes look the worst at the back, and that's no different here, but it is handled better than most. And it has a trailer hitch!
Overall this figure is amazing, but you probably shouldn't get it, the studio series version of this guy looks way better and is the same price, but I suppose that's subjective, so who am I to stop you?
